F . Less Lethal Shotguns and related munitions
1. Less Lethal Shotgun and Munitions: Less Lethal Shotgun is used to deploy the less lethal 12- gauge Super-Sock Beanbag Round. The shotgun is designed as a less lethal tool and is painted bright orange to distinguish itself from other weapons systems.
Description and capabilities:
a. REMINGTON 870 LESS LETHAL SHOTGUN, the Remington 870 Less Lethal Shotgun is used to deploy the less lethal 12-gauge Super Sock Beanbag Round up to a distance of 75 feet. The range of the weapon system helps to maintain space between of�icers and a suspect, reducing the immediacy of the threat which is a principle of De-escalation.
b. 12-GAUGE CTS SUPER SOCK BEANBAG ROUND, a less lethal 2.4 inch 12-gauge shotgun round �iring a ballistic �iber bag �illed with 40 grams of lead shot at a velocity of 270-290 FPS. CTS Super-Sock rounds are discharged from a dedicated 12-gauge shotgun that is distinguishable by an orange butt stock and foregrip. This round provides accurate and effective performance when �ired from the approved distance of not fewer than �ive (5) feet. The maximum effective range of this munition is up to 75 feet from the target. The Model 2581 Super-Sock is in its deployed state immediately upon exiting the barrel. It does not require a minimum range to “unfold” or “stabilize.” The Super-Sock is an aerodynamic projectile. However, accuracy is relative to the shotgun, barrel length, environmental conditions, and the operator. The Super-Sock is very accurate. However, effectiveness depends on many variables, such as distance, clothing, stature, weather , and the point where the projectile impacts.
Purpose

Training
All of�icers are trained in the 12-gauge less lethal shotgun as a less lethal option by Department training personnel.
Hiring and training of of�icers is a cause for the projectile inventory being in a state of �lux. This is the primary cause for the inventory miscalculation from previous reporting. The reported number of projectiles in 2023-2024 was approximately 435 and is currently at 643 due to a purchase of 250 additional during the year .
Legal and Procedural Rules
Use is established under PDM 308 - Control Devices and Techniques and PDM 300 - Use of Force. It is the policy of the CVPD to only utilize the less lethal shotgun for of�icial law enforcement purposes, and pursuant to State and Federal Law, including those regarding the use of force.

The payload is discharged through four gas ports on top of the canister , three on the side and one on the bottom. This launchable grenade is 6.12 in. by
2.62 in. and holds approximately 2.9 oz. of active agent.
c. DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY, RIOT CONTROL CONTINUOUS DISCHARGE CS GRENADE #1082, the Riot Control CS Grenade is designed speci�ically for outdoor use in crowd control situations with a high-volume continuous burn that expels its payload in approximately 20-40 seconds through four gas ports located on the top of the canister.

25 Updated 03/12/2025
Ideal for distracting dangerous suspects during hostage rescue, barricaded subjects, room entry or other high-risk incidents.
b. COMBINED TACTICAL SYSTEMS (CTS) 7290MT TRAINING DIVERSIONARY DEVICE, the CTS training devices have a re-loadable fuse for repeated training use. These training fuses produce lowered sound (120 decibels) and light output than the CTS 7290M diversionary device.
c. LIBERTY DYNAMIC ELECTRONIC DIVERSIONARY DEVICE, the Liberty Dynamic Electronic Device has a reloadable fuse for repeated deployment. The digital “smart” fuse can be programed to desired delay length, possesses LED indicator lights which provide device condition feedback, and will render itself safe within 60 seconds if there is a failure upon deployment. The sound output is 184 average decibels. During transport and storage, the fuse and device body are kept separate increasing officer safety.
d. LIBERTY DYNAMIC ELECTRONIC DIVERSIONARY TRAINING DEVICE, the Liberty Dynamic Electronic Training Device has a reloadable fuse for repeated training use. These training fuses have similar deployment mechanics as the original devices with a significantly reduced cost.
Purpose
To produce atmospheric overpressure, a loud report, heat, and brilliant light that may cause short-term physiological and psychological sensory effects to suspects, providing a tactical advantage during high-risk incidents.
Authorized Use
